Let's take them one by one:
bind mounting: That reminds me that I once mounted my / somewhere under
my home directory to make it temporarily available over an SMB share. It
was a quick thing, and then I went rm -rf on the directory under which
the mount was done. The only time ever I needed to restore / from backup.
git submodules: I'll try that out, if my plan A fails (moving .git to
/). Even though plan A involves hacking in etckeeper's scripts, it looks
like the natural solution to me.

What about linking the none-/etc directories as git submodules? Would
that help?
(I'm still 100 pages from the end of Pro Git and just read about
submodules last night).

[ Replying to HTML mail... thanks, Eli you deserve it :-( ]
If you only want to follow a couple of directories/files you can
bind-mount them to something under /etc and solve the problem.

Some people claim that the UNIX learning curve is steep, but at least
you only have to climb it once
